6 Nations battlers back for Bath Rugby

Paul James and David Wilson will both return to the Bath Rugby front row tomorrow to face London Irish in the Aviva Premiership at the Recreation Groud, kick-off 14.15.

James and Wilson, who have been released from Wales and England respectively due to a fallow week in the RBS 6 Nations championship, join Rob Webber at the front of the scrum.

Dominic Day and Dave Attwood continue their powerful partnership in the second row, with Francois Louw leading the charge from the blindside flank. Carl Fearns and Ben Skirving complete the scrum on the openside and at number 8.

Experienced international half-backs Peter Stringer and Stephen Donald continue their instrumental pairing, with Tom Biggs and Horacio Agulla once more named in the wings. Kyle Eastmond and Matt Banahan start inside them, with Nick Abendanon picked at fullback.
